Broome St. General Store

Nestled on Rowena Avenue in the heart of Silver Lake, Broome St. General Store embodies everything quintessential about this eclectic LA neighborhood. Part coffee shop, part artisanal grocer, this inviting spot strikes a balance between casual cafe vibes and curated boutique shopping. The space feels effortlessly cool without trying too hard—a rare find in a neighborhood known for its particular aesthetic.

The real draw here is the exceptional baked goods, particularly the house-made scones that have developed a devoted following. Available in rotating flavors like buttermilk cream cheese, Meyer lemon blueberry, and savory chive feta, these scones are genuinely memorable. Pair one with their strong, well-crafted coffee for a satisfying morning ritual that makes the trek to Silver Lake worthwhile.

This is the kind of place where you might pop in for a quick espresso and leave with a bag of specialty groceries, an overpriced candle you didn’t know you needed, and maybe a jar of manuka honey. The grocery selection leans toward the gourmet and health-conscious, featuring products you won’t find at your typical supermarket. The baristas maintain that distinctly LA brand of detached cool, but the quality of what’s in your cup speaks for itself.

For anyone seeking a leisurely breakfast spot that doubles as a browsing destination, Broome St. General Store delivers on the Silver Lake promise. Come for the exceptional scones and strong coffee, stay to wander the carefully stocked shelves, and embrace the neighborhood’s unique blend of laid-back sophistication.
